I removed some items from "Start Up". Then I couldn't get online. Also the bar at the bottom of the screen has turned to a white background, if that means anything. I tried to use "System Restore" but I'm told the "shadow copy" is not working correctly. Suggestions?
 
Not sure, several items that seemed not necessary. The "Search and Destroy" program pointed out there were unnecessary items.
 
Without knowing what you removed, it would be hard for us to tell you what to do now. Are using wireless or an ethernet cable to get online? Most likely you disabled the wireless utility you use to get online.
 
Why the hell did you remove things that some program told you they are unneccessary???No offence,but that's stupid lol.

ADVICE: NEVER DO THAT IN THE FUTURE!:D

Now repair your operating system using it's CD/DVD-ROM disk.




Cheers!

Most likely his problem isn't the operating system so to repair it would be unnecessary.

The System Restore is the part of the operating system.It is located under the EXE and few DLL files.Every SINGLE window you open in the operating system is one small programmed EXE application that the operating system raises at the specified programmed events that are built-in the operating system iself and therefore the REPAIR option should fix any problems like his.He probably has missing or corrupted EXE and DLL files in his operating system and the REPAIR option will fix these problems and after that he will be able to use the System Restore.The REPAIR option does not delete any data,does not delete any registry settings,any games and programs and any other staff and therefore it also does not delete any saved dates in the System Restore and he will BE ABLE to return his computer to the previous state using the System Restore,but AFTER he repairs his operating system using it's CD/DVD disk.





Cheers everyone!
 
System restore is not the best way to fix your system anyway. Very seldom does it ever work correctly. That's why creating backup images are always best in case of catastrophe. I've used system restore and its worked about 50 percent of the time for me. It should work 100 percent of the time. I'm not saying a repair won't fix the system restore issue but he shouldn't be relying on system restore anyway.

And by the way, didn't you know that once you do a repair of the OS that it deletes all restore points and removes all windows updates? Evidentely you didn't.

I totally agree with you.System Restore really isn't the best way to fix problems.I just said that because I thought the he REALLY wants to use the System Restore lol.I hate System Restore anyway.:DThat's why I always have the complete clone of my entire HDD on other USB HDD.Thats much better then using System Restore.Like you said...System Restore doesn't work 100% and thats completely true.:D

Of course I did.Thats why you should always copy the restore point somewhere else before the repair.It is located under the hidden folder called "System Volume Information".I guess I forgot to mention that.Oops:D

I installed the disc (Vista Home Premium 32 bit) but a "repair" choice is not given.

The REPAIR YOUR COMPUTER option is offered on the menu to which you must get by booting your Vista DVD disk.If you dont have that,then you probably have the modified copy of the Vista DVD disk lol.
